Don't give me any money, don't give me any people, but give freedom, and I'll give you a movie that looks gigantic.

I was a cartoonist when I was at university, but I decided to go into movie making knowing that I could still draw by doing movies, design work, story boards, and such.

I love working with great actors.

The accidents are things that audiences always remember most, I've found on my own movies. The things that they like the most are the things that were just by accident. So you have to create a situation where nothing but accidents can happen the entire time.

It's such a drag to make a movie.

I realized that everything I do is fantasy, whether it is an adult movie or a kids movie.

Your mind just goes to the craziest idea to lure people into the theater, and then you write your script around those elements.
